insurance application process. Residents can simply log on to the state website and file a claim any time of day. The process takes just a few minutes to complete. It’s fast, easy, and convenient, making sure you’ll get what you need as soon as possible.

Important Information

Before you can file a claim, you’ll need your name, address, social security number, and the details of all employers from April 2014 onward

State and federal law dictate whether you’re eligible for UI benefits. Just because you submit an application doesn’t mean you’ll be approved

Even if you’re approved, benefits won’t be issued immediately

UI benefits are terminal, which means they don’t go on indefinitely; you can only claim them for a specified period of time, or until your benefits run out – whichever term is shorter

Benefits are calculated based on your past income. Bear in mind that your UIB won’t match your former pay rate; it will be a percentage of what you made before

Be completely forthcoming when completing your UIB application. Incorrect information may lead to a delay or even an overpayment of benefits. Fraudulent applications will result in hefty fines. Depending on the scope of deception, it could lead to incarceration.
